1.) "Shogun" by Trivium. This is a very unique album loved both by fans and metal heads. Every song showcases creative riffs, catchy vocals, and brutal solos. This album was so great, it turned one of the most disliked metal bands at the time into a fan favorite.

2.) "Bad Vibrations" by A Day To Remember. This album has a huge range of heavy to more laid back tracks. It is such a diverse album, and it was one of the best to be released in the past year.

3.) "Device", a self-titled album from Device, features many catchy vocals and well written songs. The instruments are more complementary to the song than complex, but they're still creative. Many people know about this album because David Draimon was the singer for it during Disturbed's hiatus.

4.) "The Drug In Me Is You" by Falling in Reverse. This album made the band very popular among fans of bands such as "Pierce the Veil" and "Asking Alexandria". It has memorable guitar solos and how the songs are structured makes them very catchy and original.

5.) "Lifelines" by I Prevail. Another album with a lot of range from metalcore to acoustic songs. Very catchy.

My self-imposed rules:- No compilation albums- No repeated artists- Albums must have no songs that are currently available in RB4- One album per decade- If there's a single song on the album I'd skip when listening to it, it doesn't go on the list.- Other than that, go crazy
